New event in 2010 

From Bach to Sevdah

Tiziana Pintus, violin & Merima Kljuco, accordion

Sunday 17th of October 2010, 4pm, Kunsthuis 13, Velp

Ticket sales: Kunsthuis 13,Velp

Classical and traditional music brought into contemporary times. A musical heritage rich in improvisation and ornamental techniques seen through the artistic "eyes" of the contemporary musician.

 

The relationship between traditional music and some specific compositions by the baroque composers  reveals a fascinating aspect of music – a spirit of improvisation that shines through the music of both genres.

Merima Kljuco

Merima Kljuco by Jose de Vries

'The Indipendent' London UK, review by M. Church:

"This album's roots lie deep in the Balkan tradition of sevdah...Kljuco's playing – rich in atmospherics – takes many forms and constantly springs surprises..."

'The Telegraph' London UK, review by Mark Hudson:

"From blue-note trillings to quasi-industrial buzzing, Kljuco wrings extraordinary sounds from her instrument and the sheer Dostoevskian relentlessness leaves you weirdly elated."

'The Real Time Magazine' Sydney, Australia, review by J. Dale:

"Particularly affecting was a series of harmonics, quietly wrung from the violin by Tiziana Pintus, which held the collective breath of the Artspace audience and briefly transformed the space’s antiseptic vibe into an ennobled zone—reflective and smart, without any recourse to pious display."
